    280 - 300 miles?! I’m lucky if I get 190 from mine, sound is expensive 😂

      Show off, brimed it the other day and range leaving petrol station said 143 miles haha. Range warning light comes on before I even hit 1/4 tank
      I swear 80% of the fuel goes on generating that glorious sound!
      To be fair the big V8 at 70mph is barely above tickover and does 26-28mph, just around town start stop and wanting to hear that exhaust I'm normally in single digits mpg.
      Best car I've owned and I have had m3s , 911s etc, semi understated, comfortable, quiet when crusing, then sounds like nothing else with endless tyre shredding torque and more character than Any other car (that character is a psychopath with a drinking probl6 who wants to kill you but still you can't help but love it) :)

    That’s awesome.
    If you’d have backed it off to between 56 and 62 you’d have been into the 30s mpg.

    I did wonder if you’d manage to go the whole film without a bit of acceleration, just the once on the motorway is showing extreme restraint! Well done 😝💪🏼
    Definitely more efficient on this trip than your last Scotland trip 🤗

    man you gotta have a p31 or p30 when owning a 500 HP rear wheel drive car. Especially need the LSD option if p31. p30 came with LSD.

    RIP when a full tank for my M5 would be circa £80. Would guess your C63 needing at least £120/130 for a full tank these days?

    • @CarThought
      @CarThought  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The only real downside to the w204 C class is that all variants share the same size fuel tank (60 litres) regardless of engine size. So the C63 only has a 60L tank.. meaning it’s around £105 from empty at current rates.

    I can get 28mpg out of mine a few times on a good run, I’ve had the coffee cup warning when driving late at night it beeps a few times at you and tells you to have a break

      I wonder if it just works on a timer? Don’t believe there to be any sensors (other than PDC) on the front of the car. Does yours have lane departure assist?

    • @rich8314
      @rich8314 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@CarThought mine doesn’t have lane departure sensors, it takes so many feeds of data into consideration such as driving time, time of day/night, steering inputs such as sharp movements after a long spell of non, your car looks and sounds awesome by the way
